Merry Christmas!!

Home | A Miracle Every Day | Miracles | Merry Christmas!!

Today, on Christmas Day, I’d like to share with you a text written by Max Lucado, an author I appreciate and admire. A big thanks to David Nolent, from the Top Chrétien team, for sharing it with me!
“God had entered the world as a baby.

Yet, were someone to chance upon the sheep stable on the outskirts of Bethlehem that morning, what a peculiar scene they would behold.

The stable stinks like all stables do. The stench of urine, dung, and sheep reeks pungently in the air. The ground is hard, the hay scarce. Cobwebs cling to the ceiling and a mouse scurries across the dirt floor.  A more lowly place of birth could not exist…

He looks anything but a king. His face is prunish and red. His cry, though strong and healthy, is still the helpless and piercing cry of a baby…

Merry Christmas! May the peace of the Lord cover and bless you today!

This baby had overlooked the universe. These rags keeping him warm were the robes of eternity. His golden throne room had been abandoned in favor of a dirty sheep pen…

That particular moment was like none other. For through that segment of time a spectacular thing occurred. God became a man. While the creatures of earth walked unaware, Divinity arrived. Heaven opened herself and placed her most precious one in a human womb.

The Omnipotent, in one instant, made himself breakable. He who had been spirit became pierceable. He who was larger than the universe became an embryo. And he who sustains the world with a word chose to be dependent upon the nourishment of a young girl.”

What a beautiful text giving honor and glory to God!

If you haven’t already seen it, I invite you to watch this clip, that has been made to share to other people, to invite them to know more about Jesus. You can share this wonderful video with those around you! Or share this course with people who want to know more about Jesus!

I wish you a very Merry Christmas, and may the peace of the Lord cover and bless you today!
